Bismarck Tribune (North Dakota) - Stimulus creates more than 2,000 jobs in North Dakota
Federal stimulus money has created the equivalent of more than 2,000 full-time jobs in North Dakota and has brought millions into the city of Bismarck and Burleigh County.
Figures presented to the legislative Budget Section by the Office of Management and Budget show that government entities in Bismarck area have gotten more than $3.8 million in stimulus money.
The majority of that money went to the city of Bismarck -- more than $2.6 million, which came in the form of grants for hiring police officers, investing in public transportation, improvements to low-income housing and energy efficiency projects.
The state, another major employer for Bismarck residents, received more than $604 million in stimulus funds, which were distributed through various agencies. OMB records show an equivalent of 42 full-time state jobs were funded with stimulus money, while 2,057 non-state jobs were funded with stimulus money. [3/11/10]
Wall Street Journal - Economists Credit Fed For Alleviating Crisis
Thirty-eight of the 54 surveyed economists… said the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act boosted growth and mitigated job losses…
On average, economists estimated that the stimulus added one percentage point to growth in 2009; they forecast gross domestic product would expand 3% this year, compared with 2.2% in the absence of stimulus. They estimated that the February unemployment rate, reported at 9.7% last week, would have been 10.4% without the stimulus. [3/12/10]
Southwest News Herald-City (Illinois) - Englewood Flyover Gets Stimulus Funds
Gov. Pat Quinn, U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) and Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) were on hand to highlight federal funding for the Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) Program's Englewood Flyover in Chicago.
The project received $133 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program to build a rail flyover in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood that will significantly reduce rail congestion. The project will create nearly 1,500 Illinois jobs.
"This $133 million project will not only move the rail industry forward, it will also bring thousands of jobs to the area and keep Chicago as the hub of our nation's transportation network," [Governor Pat Quinn.] [3/11/10]
SouthCoastToday.com (Massachusetts) - Fairhaven touted for green projects using stimulus money
Close to $8 million in federal stimulus money is streaming into Fairhaven for green projects.
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said Fairhaven's use of stimulus funding meets a major goal of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) by creating green jobs.
'It's very nice to see Fairhaven be at the forefront of our environmental efforts,' Frank said. 'This is an extraordinarily important effort, not only for the town but as a model for the country.'
'Putting people to work in an environmentally sensitive way is a good thing on all accounts,' he said. [3/11/10]
The Detroit News (Michigan) - Mich. schools to get $430M more in fed stimulus funds

"Put your feet together. Stand up tall," her dad instructed, pushing her head gently towards the wall with the palm of his hand. I fished a pencil out of the drawer.
"OK, now hold still…"
As if we needed to tell her. The kid barely breathed, acting as though this was some phenomenal test, and not merely our regular height-measuring custom.
A half-dozen or so pencil marks line one wall in the kitchen, the scribbled dates beside them serving as testaments to our eldest daughter's evolution from baby, to toddler, to… what? Little girl? Already?
"An inch!" Craig exclaimed, as we three gawked at the newest pencil line. Elle grinned, proud of her accomplishment.
Indeed, Elle had grown an inch since our last measurement – which, we noted, had only been six weeks ago.
You know how people say there's a different timeline for dogs than for people? "Well, he's 86 in dog years…." The same premise applies with kids – at least in the way that time seems to exist in a different dimension for kids than it does for adults.
I think of it like this: Six weeks is nothing in an adult's timeline. About the only thing that has changed with me over the course of the last six weeks is that my toenails need a pedicure.
Meanwhile, over the course of the last six weeks, my oldest daughter has grown an inch, and can now say things like "I would rather have a snack than go outside" and "I am not tired, I'm just grumpy."
And the new baby? Six weeks is equivalent to nearly half of her life! In six weeks, Emme has transformed from a mewling bundle who could barely uncurl her skinny fingers from a fist to a now-wide awake little human being who smiles at those funny people making faces at her all the time, and reaches out to touch my face when we lie side-by-side in bed in the morning.
Elle was once as small and dependent as Emme, I sometimes take a breath and realize, and that was only two short years ago. What does the next two years have in store? Or even the next six weeks?
It is easy to feel swept away by the hectic whirlwind that is life when you're the parent of two small children. My days seem consumed by the seemingly interminable cycle of feeding, bathing and putting children to sleep, and cleaning, organizing and arranging their various things, while trying to sneak in some time to work, exercise or hanging out with my husband.
When will it ever end? I sometimes wonder, despairingly, when one kid is screaming to be fed, another reached the tired-and-grumpy threshold hours ago, and I realize there are four loads-worth of clean laundry still sitting in piles downstairs, waiting to be folded. So much for that pedicure.
But then I lay down next to Emme, and for a moment everything stops. She reaches her wobbly little hand out to me and grazes her fingers against my cheek. Or Elle snuggles into my lap, telling me that she missed me "so much" while she slept, and that she dreamt about fishing, and that "to-this-day" (or today, in adult language) she's going to go meet her friends at the hotel. (In about 15 years, I imagine any plan – imaginary or not – having to do with Elle meeting friends at a hotel won't make me laugh, as it does today).
It is in these fleeting moments, in which my adult timeline converges with those of my children, that I realize I must cherish the time I have with my kids when they are this young. It is in these moments that I realize that the joy of raising children is not only found in the finished product, but also in the ongoing process. In these moments, I understand that someday soon Elle will say "today," not "to-this-day." And someday soon, we'll be measuring Baby Emme against the wall, commenting on how much she's grown.
Life as the parent of two young children is consuming, no doubt, but it doesn't last forever. And when it's over, I know I'll miss some part of this craziness; especially a baby's touch and a toddler's conversation.

I've been baking a long time. My first pro mixer was an old Hobart I used at my bakery. At home over the years it was a Sunbeam Heritage. And now, FINALLY I have my Empire Red Kitchen Aid mixer! I was going to go for the pro lift bowl, but opted for the Artisan tilt head mixer. I am glad I did. I find it much easier to use and change attachments. Best part??? The price!!! Unbelievable great deal. Refurbished model, but arrived boxed by KA and shiny as a brand new penny! No one would know it was refurbished! Thank you Overstock!
I was so excited to receive this item as i have always wanted an Kitchenaid Artisan mixer. Being in the uk i expected delivery to takes ages, but it arrived in around 10 working days! You would think the mixer was brand new, you cant even tell its a refurbished model apart from one tiny scuff on the side. As UK voltage is not the same as US i have to use my mixer with a 500watt step down converter, i was worried that doing so would affect how fast the machine would work and also cause it to over heat, but i have used it on a few occasions on the highest speed and had no probelms at all. UK byers should definitely make sure they buy the correct converter before use though!! All in all a great product and great service, i would definitely buy it and use overstock again!
I love my stand mixer it's a life saver. It's that extra hand I needed in the kitchen. Makes my prep time less stressful. I was a little hesitant about it being refurbished but I have had no problems so far. It's been almost a year that I have had it.
Hi I was so excited to receive my Kitchen aid Artisan mixer. It arrived within 10 working days to NZ which was great. My mixer is fab!!! but anyone ho is thinking of buying one from US please remember the voltage difference... This is really important you cannot use these machines without a converter, not an adapter you need a converter. If you are in NZ a converter can set you back by $150 NZ at least. Also check all of your items in the parcel, my balloon whisk is slightly bent which means it scrapes the bowl of my mixer. Hey overstocks I could do with a new whisk didn't realize it was bent before I used it.... SWEET!!!!!!
I received my mixer in a KitchenAid box and lugged it home. Once I took it out of the box, all I could see was the shiny stainless steel bowl, the attachments and the mixer itself. Once you get use to the weight of the mixer, life becomes beautiful. I definitely plan to buy a couple more mixers and warranties in the very near future. Thank you overstock for providing such a beautiful product!!
I have wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer for years but couldn't justify the price. This past winter, while being a 'snow bird' in AZ, I used my cousin's Kitchen Aid mixer many times and knew I must have one. I found the refurbished red ones on Overstock, and after reading all the positive reviews, went a head and ordered. I am so thrilled because it works perfectly and looks better than new. It fits so well on my counter and looks elegant-I just love it. I would recommend this mixer to anyone who is hesitating.
The KitchenAid mixer I purchased works great and I was very pleased with the price - all the attachments were delivered and I was amazed how quickly it was shipped. I spoke to Tina at customer service before the purchase and was amazed by how quickly and efficiently she answered my questions. Because of her I made the decision to purchase the mixer. I will definitely purchase from Overstock again!

Lily Steig '16 assists a Waterville-area high school student during SAT prep classes at Colby this fall.
MulePrep was founded by Matt White '14, an education minor and English major who in high school saw his Massachusetts classmates availing themselves of expensive tutoring and SAT prep classes. At Colby he noted there were few affordable SAT preparatory courses in the Waterville area—and he resolved to give central Maine high school students equal access.
White, a cross-country and track athlete, spent his sophomore-year Jan Plan writing curriculum for the SAT class with the help of Professor Mark Tappan (education). Last spring White enlisted fellow Colby students as instructors, and MulePrep was offered free of charge to students at Waterville High School and Messalonskee in Oakland. "Getting Colby students involved wasn't a problem," he said.
The first class had 18 students, with sessions held Sunday afternoon in Lovejoy. This fall White opened MulePrep up to any high school student and found the word had spread. Seventy-five students signed up from 14 area high schools. White had student instructors (education minors Anna Caron '13, Katie Curran '14, Ben Carlin '16, Lizzie Woodbury '15, Lily Steig '16, and Lindsay Peterson '13) for the seven-week SAT prep session. A bonus included sessions on the college application process, led by Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Terry Cowdry; college interview tips from Career Center Director Roger Woolsey; and application essay-writing classes with tutors from Colby's Farnham Writers' Center.
The response from high school students and guidance counselors has been "overwhelmingly positive," White said.
Anna Caron '13 works with a student. The free course is taught by Colby volunteers.
Even as MulePrep grows, he said, the goal remains the same: to offer a quality SAT prep class at no cost. "If we have the resources," White said, "we won't turn anyone away."
For more information go to MulePrep's website or contact Matt White at

Take a walk in the woods and gather these DIY recipes!
Being able to identify plants is more than plant-nerd cool. It's real world cool because it means that you can forage, and isn't foraging just about the trendiest thing a nature lover can do these days?
With wild gathered food featured on the menus of the finest restaurants in the world — Copenhagen's Noma, a restaurant serving foraged ingredients, has topped Restautant Magazine's "World's 50 Best" list for the third year in a row — foraging has officially moved past its pauper roots and into the realm of real-world consideration, and not only for sustenance, but for beauty products, as well.
There is a special kind of joy that comes from foraging that gets right to the heart of what makes it a wonderful pastime. It is a treasure hunt; it is beautiful way to get in touch with your surroundings and the cycles of the seasons; and it nurtures your soul to move through the landscape and see it with a different set of eyes.
MORE: Read Leaf Magazine's Autumn 2012 Issue
Disclaimer: When foraging, be sure that you follow foragers' guidelines. Know what you are picking, do not pick an area clean (leave plants to grow for the next person and the next season), and use with caution. Many plants have powerful medicinal qualities, and should be treated with care when ingesting or using on your body. Be sure to consider allergies.
Flip through our gallery for foraging ideas, and follow the recipe below it to distill your plants into botanical tinctures or oils, which you can then use on your skin alone, in our cold cream recipe (also below), or to add a dose of ski-improving punch to your bath or shower.
Is putting something IN your body all that different that putting it ON your body? The skin is the body's largest organ, so perhaps it is worth considering the ingredients in our beauty products as much as we consider those in our food. Some of the most attainable (and common) plants around have a wonderful way of making our skin and hair look their best. So enjoy the purity of nature, and start foraging for your beauty.

I recently wanted to see if the owner of a domain name was possibly interested in selling it to me. I don't speak German, so I had to use Google Translate to compose the email. She responded in German, and Google Translate provided a good-enough translation to know that she's not interested. However the translation they provided looks weird. Can someone clarify what her first sentence means?
die Domain gebe ich mit Sicherheit nicht her ... von daher keinerlei Interesse.
Here's what Google Translate provides:
I give the domain certainly not her ... therefore of no interest.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Officials have approved an alternative for NVEnergy customers who don't want the new smart meters.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada says Southern Nevada customers opting out can pay $98.75 to install an electric meter, plus $8.14 every month.
Northern Nevada customers opting out will pay a $107.66 upfront cost, plus an $8.04 monthly fee.
Northern Nevadans can also opt out of a smart gas meter for a one-time fee of $6.08.
NV Energy has installed about 1.3 million smart meters, which can transmit meter-reading data directly from a home or business to the utility.

• Bronson Community Blood Drive at the Court House, 355 Court Street
Walmart in Chiefland has been authorized by its corporate office to help with the Toys for Tots drive, according to toy drive organizer Bryan Chrisp. The drive will consist of three weekends beginning Nov. 29.
Toys for Tots registration events will take place Saturday, Nov. 23, in the Fellowship Hall at the First United Methodist Church in Chiefland from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Monday, Nov. 25, in the media center at Bronson Middle/High School from 3 - 7 p.m.
In 1993, Franklin Graham, International President of Samaritan's Purse, adopted Operation Christmas Child. Since then, more than 94 million shoe boxes have been distributed to children between 2-14 years of age. In Fiji, last year, a young boy named Ajay sat quietly with his head down and his hands in his lap. One of the workers handing out shoe boxes saw Ajay and went over to help him. She soon learned that Ajay was almost blind and had recently lost his mother. As she assisted Ajay in opening his box tears began to come in her eyes.

Behind the Scenes
Bobby George
We wanted to share a few 'behind the scenes' snapshots of our new video, "You learn best from the ones that you love". We also wanted to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful cast and crew. If you haven't had a chance to watch the video, you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/85571034
This is Joe Hubers, Lead Creative of Passenger Productions, getting iPad advice from the charismatic star of the spot, four year old, Evan Medema. Joe is part of a collective that hand crafts documentary and narrative films. As they like to say: They're not an ad firm and they're more than a production company. They're award-winning storytellers. Sitting next to Joe, that's Brett Bittner. He's usually working his magic behind the scenes.
To know the true measure of a master, you only need to see how he teaches. We were blown away by how Joe embraced the curious mind of a four year old, as he worked to carefully navigate and direct the opening shot. Evan, of course, having already performed his duties, kept instructing his mother, offering advice and encouragement. It was just adorable.

Forensic linguistics is the branch of linguistics in the service of criminology and law enforcement. A forensic linguist studies evidence from the realms of speech (as found in voice recordings or phone transcriptions) and language (as found in e-mails, chat, text messages; or handwriting found in notes, letters, contracts, wills etc.) with the aim of corroborating or confuting a set of crime-related hypotheses.
If you are a parent of a teenage child, I would urge you to consider watching this troubling video with your child, and to follow up on it with a discussion of the dangers of social networks.Dr. Jochen L. Leidner
Describes the texts the facebook killer sent to Ashleigh Hall to draw her into a trap. Pretending to be 17 year old 'Peter Cartwright', the killer, who was actually 32 year old Peter Chapman, lured Ashleigh into his car before killing her. This video explores the linguistic tricks he used to achieve this terrible goal. Essentially, the video shows that Peter Chapman is a linguistic master criminal: he has full mastery not only of language, but how to exploit it to gain what he wants.

Latest Market News
U.S. markets are closed in observance of Good Friday.
Gold posted modest losses at the end of Thursday's trading session, as data signaling further growth in the U.S. economy eroded demand for the yellow metal. Talk of soft physical demand in China coupled with reports of funds selling gold positions weighed on prices as well.
Data released Thursday showed consumer confidence rose from a nine-week low as Americans grew more upbeat about the economy, while a separate report revealed jobless claims were close to their lowest level in almost seven years.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reported that its manufacturing index rose to 16.6 in April, the highest level since September, smashing analysts' expectations for the index to tick up to 10.
Thursday's reports bolstered the dollar and helped underscore investor expectations for the U.S. economic recovery to remain on track, though the data caught markets by surprise in the aftermath of Wednesday's comments from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen.
In comments delivered before the Economic Club of New York on Wednesday, Yellen said monetary policy will need to remain accommodative for some time, citing slackness in the labor market and low inflation.
This week's mix of both bullish and bearish fundamentals for the gold market, Tuesday's dramatic sell-off, and updates to 2014 investment bank forecasts for bullion have precious metals investors sharply divided in their opinions of what's next for gold prices. For further insight and analysis of this week's gold market, check out the latest episode of "The Vault."
On this week's episode, Brian Baker, host of "The Vault," challenges the Federal Reserve's assertion that higher inflation leads to lower unemployment and a more robust U.S. economy, while Mike Getlin, CEO of Merit Gold, breaks down this week's gold market, tells viewers the truth about bullion demand in China, and offers his take on the inflation versus deflation argument as well.

Photographer's Note
A Kazakh elder poses in front of the vast sweeping steppes of western Mongolia.
If you want to get away from it all, it doesn't get much farther away than the steppes in the remote state of Hovd. Apart from scattered families living in Gers, there is nothing and nobody.
Whenever I was spotted on my hike eastward toward a small township, the Kazakhs welcomed me, offering food, tea and respite from the cold winds.
It's a dreamscape in the most pure form.

Hi Greg
Sorry to be so rude, but you spoilt a superb desert landscape with the man in a non natural position in front of your camera. I understand that you should thank him for welcoming you, but you should have taken 2 different pictures: his portrait and the superb natural landscape, well lighted by the lateral sun and the amazing sky and shadows esee my WS).


text: A dial caliper takes precise inside and outside measurements, but the depth probe on the end can also help you set exact blade and bit heights. The key is to lock the caliper vertically in a jig like I made here. The base is 4" square, and the upright is 3-1⁄2" x 5" with a 5/8" x 2-1⁄2" notch cut into one edge. I cut a 5/8"-deep kerf into the edge above the notch with 1/8"-kerf saw blade; this slot fits a standard caliper perfectly. I stepped to the band saw to cut a centered slit across the top of the upright, 2" deep. By threading a bolt and wingnut across this thin kerf in the upright, the bolt applies just enough pressure to hold the caliper in place. To set bit or blade height, I lower the probe to the table and zero out the gauge, then raise it to the cutter height I want. Now crank up the cutter until it touches the probe. It's a handy jig to have around.

Elbow are a British alternative rock band. Members of the band first played together in 1990 at The Corner Pin pub in Ramsbottom, Bury, a borough of Greater Manchester. The band currently retain their original line-up of lead vocalist and lyricist Guy Garvey, guitarist Mark Potter, keyboardist Craig Potter, bassist Pete Turner and drummer Richard Jupp. They have released four (top twenty) studio albums, three EPs (Noisebox, Newborn and Any Day Now) and seven top forty singles in the UK. The band is named after a line in the book The Singing Detective. A character (Philip Marlowe) says that the word "elbow" is the most sensuous word in the English language; not for its definition, but for how it feels to say it.
Acclaimed for their innovative sound and front-man Guy Garvey's evocative candid lyrics, Elbow have received vast critical acclaim and been endorsed by major artists Radiohead, Coldplay, Blur, R.E.M. and U2 despite minor commercial success during much of their career. The Velvet Underground's co-founder John Cale selected Elbow's "Switching Off" as one of his eight chosen songs on the BBC's Desert Island Discs radio programme. The band won the 2008 Mercury Music Prize for their fourth album, The Seldom Seen Kid.

Brandi Glanville Still Trashing Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes Affairby Free Britney at .
In light of Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes taking their relationship public last week, his estranged wife Brandi Glanville - who maintained her silence and stood by him for months - is now commenting to People left and right.
Brandi recalls when she and Cibrian went on double dates with LeAnn Rimes and her husband, Dean Sheremet, in Canada during the filming of Lifetime's Northern Lights, and even then she noticed a little flirting between the costars.
"We went to play pool, went for sushi, dancing," Brandi Glanville said, adding that while she's gotten used to women fawning over her handsome husband through the years, "this was different. It was a little more reciprocated."
At the same time, Glanville noticed how affectionate LeAnn was with Dean Sheremet: "They were very touchy-feely," she says. "They seemed happy. [But] I felt like it was almost like 'I love my husband. I'm not after your husband.'"
Eddie Cibrian married Brandi Glanville in 2002. They have two kids.
After reports of Eddie Cibrian's affair with Rimes surfaced in March, he and Glanville sought counseling to try to salvage their marriage, and she stood by him.
But it was not to be.
"We were in therapy, but he never stopped talking to [LeAnn Rimes] so how could that have worked?" asks Glanville, clearly far from thrilled with Rimes, and who says she recently left her husband and plans to file for divorce.
Glanville says she's been "trying to get a hold of" Sheremet.
"I feel bad for Dean," Brandi says. "It's a horrible situation for him. I don't think he's ready to have a conversation about not being with her."
Eddie and LeAnn went public last week with a golf outing.

It's to bad that both of these individuals didn't take enough time to think about his two kids and what effect a broken home is going to have on them. It's sad when grown people chose to have children and then just randomly destroy their happiness and security within a family circle and just for the simple pleasure of lust. I hope much heart break and pain on both LeAnne and Eddie. A hundred times what his children is about to experience!!
Seriously Jen- you certainly come accross QUITE bitter of the fact that she made it and you just didn't. GET OVER IT, you obviously are insecure yourself to THRIVE in Drama seeking for the simple fact that you are here attempting to air anothers dirty laundry.
I do find it quite sad that one failures or shortcomings cause them to find glee in another's tragedy.
I certainly wish Dean AND Brandi the absolute best, as well as LeAnn and Eddie learning a lesson after the fact when the flame of passion is extinguished.
I knew Brandi from when she was an aspiring model living in Sacramento and I've been waiting to see Brandi's scrappy side come out! She has always been a dreadfully insecure woman always asking everyone if other women are prettier than her, etc. I am surprised she stood by Eddie as long as she did. she's an around the way kind of girl and Good Luck to LeAnn! she'll get brandi's wrath 4 years! brandi moved 2 LA 2 marry a moviestar and succeeded. she's calculating so good luck 2 Eddie and his wallet. brandi will get the last laugh. she always does. go brandi! I have the popcorn...just going 2 sit back and enjoy the show!
Brandi will get her divorce but she ends up paying spousal support because she makes more money than Eddie. Continue making fun of the affair of these two morons, Brandi, since he is living off you like a leech he is. For sure, this wife who was publicly humiliated by these deceitful duo, is not done. Leann had messed with the wrong wife. Have fun while you are at it, Brandi.

Baseball Bat Sizing Chart
Bat sizing charts:
Softball Bat Sizing
To find the correct bat length for your softball-playing daughter, have her stand straight up with her arms to the side. Place a ruler to her side with the start of the ruler (the "0" mark) on the ground. Read the measurement at the end of her wrist, just where the hand meets the forearm. As a general rule, this measurement indicates the perfect bat length for her.
Another sizing method for Baseball and Softball
Another great means for determining bat size is what we'll call the wingspan method. Have your son or daughter stand up tall with their arms straight out (arms should be parallel to the ground as if they were trying to mimic an airplane). Measure from the very center of their chest out to the tip of their fingers. That measurement will give you the ideal bat length.
It's always best to try to size using a variety of methods to come up with their ideal. For youth which are still growing, we recommend that you go with the longest length obtained through the various sizing methods. We often use the break of the wrist method (described in the softball bat sizing above) along with this method and use the longer of the two.

Hi all
I'm still here :)
Messed up a little last week on the work out front but back on track now...:)
I'm seeing results interms of muscle, but not much on the scales ..only 3 lbs so far....
Maybe I need to do the cardio for longer??
Still, week 5 almost behind us, good job everyone!
suze1 - you are on track. You do not need to do longer cardio. Stick with the 20 min HIIT cardio. You need to pay attention to how you feel and how your clothes fit. I hope you've been tracking measurements all along. That's where you see the numbers change. Scale weight will change but not as quickly. From experience since doing BFL, I weigh more now wearing a smaller size. Hang in there weeks 5-7 are hard but do not give up because you don't see the scale weight moving.
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!

1. WEEK ONE: Confusion and stress are usually your first visitors if you've never done anything like this before. In fact, it's best to visit the gym or get your home gym set up ahead of time and do some trials of the exercises. It's also best to plan an entire two weeks' worth of menus before you start, so you don't find yourself running out in the middle of the night to buy authorized food. Stick to the proteins and carbs that are listed on page 83 of the book and you can't go wrong. The next things you'll experience in week one are soreness and sleeplessness. Soreness is natural initially, and unavoidable if you're working hard. Don't waste your money on pain relievers; they don't work on it at all. Sleeplessness and headaches and lethargy are all first week experiences for most, and they are caused by the body trying to adapt to better foods, and also beginning to expel the junk that has built up in your body fat all along. Drink lots of water!
2. WEEK TWO: Soreness and the dietary adjustments may continue during the second week. But, you'll also notice that the diet will begin to feel a bit more natural and the exercises will seem a bit easier. You should see a little bit of strength gain at the end of week 2. There will be some scale loss for men, but almost none for women, and no great noticeable changes in the mirror yet, except that your skin and eyes may look brighter and clearer.
3. WEEK THREE: You'll be confidently doing the exercises by now, and the diet will seem almost normal tasting to you. Your taste buds will have adjusted from all the sweets, spicy foods, and salty stuff and the fresh foods and pure foods will taste good. Most men will begin to see some changes in the mirror at the end of this week and should be able to see more scales movement. Women might have lost as much as 3 to 5 pounds by now, though no weight loss at all or even a slight gain by the end of week three is not at all uncommon.
4. WEEK FOUR TO SIX: Weeks 4 through 6 are the golden weeks. You'll find yourself feeling great–even exhilarated–which is a welcome change from the sleeplessness, aches and pains and sluggishness from weeks 1 through 3. The guys will see quickening weight loss and a visible change in the size of the old beer gut or love handles. Women will see some changes, but usually more modest in nature than the guy. So, if you are doing a couple's challenge, be prepared for the uneven (don't say "unfair" just yet) nature of your changes versus your husband's situation.
Both men and women will see significant changes in strength and stamina. Sleep habits will settle down. The diet will begin to become almost second nature and the exercise and multiple meal events will become a regular and comfortable part of your life. Especially for women it is extremely important to continue to advance in your weight training goals, lifting to failure rather than simply walking through the exercise. Unless you strain to lift, and really do hit it hard, you are essentially wasting your time doing the strength training.
If you measure them at this point, you'll likely see that blood pressure is lower; cholesterol and triglycerides are lower, and that resting pulse is lower. This is also the time, though, that small nagging injury or pain can gets worse. Be extremely careful about working sore joints such as knees and especially shoulders. If the shoulder joints are sore, don't lift weights overhead. It is not worth it to develop a rotator cuff or neck problem at this point.
Be of good cheer! Stay the course. There are good things coming! Patience is needed, especially for women.
Did my LBWO yesterday and today is my day off
I think the person who started the topic: Minor Stumbling Block is trolling!
Hey everybody. Been reading your posts and they are very encouraging! I am on another thread, but I started Jan 7 also so I thought I would post my results to date! Its my weekly check in! Almost the end of Week 5 for me and I am amazed and can't wait to see what happens in the next 5 weeks! I did all my measurements today. Started at 180.5 (I'm 5.8 tall) and now at 170.9 down 9.6 lbs. Lost 3 inches off my waist, 3.5 off my hips, 2.5 off my bust, 2 inches off each thigh and 1.5 off my calves. My biceps have lost a total of 1/2 inch, they actually got bigger this week! My shoulders have that nice little "cap" on them now, they are always the first place I show definition. My middle is definitely smaller but still squishy. I can do many pushups from my knees, but I recently made a goal to be able to do 10 real pushups. When I started I couldn't even lower myself down to one (pathetic but true). But now I can do one and part of another. I am going to do this! I still don't like the treadmill, but its getting easier. I watched a bunch of Angel City videos on Youtube when I did my last run, what a blast from the past! It was actually the best cardio I did haha! I had the best snack last night. Sandwich thin toasted with TBS natural Peanut Butter, 1 TBS homemade granola (no sugar but has honey) . That was very tasty! I also love to have a sandwich thin toasted with thin layer of lite cream cheese, plain egg white omelet with tsp reduced fat mexican cheese, and 3 strips of turkey bacon. Its the best breakfast sandwich ever! And my lastest dinner sidedish favorite - brown rice topped with a banana pepper sauted in alittle olive oil with salt and pepper - YUM. What are your "go to" meals/snacks?
Did my last cardio of the week. Started off so-so but finished with a great big 10! Next week - 2 days of LBWO. Maybe I can actually do the lunges this time.
Thank you for the advice Sharon..!!
Ive had a much better week -waking up early and getting my work outs in is freeing up my evenings,thereby giving me more time, freedom and motivation to get excited about this entire process!
I did weigh myself today and was pleased to see that I've lost another 3lbs, that's 6 in total :)
I will measure too and start tracking!
One question, how much protein should a women take in per day ...?
ps Sallyforlife sounds like you are rocking it!
Good job!
Week 6 starts tomorrow-Laura I hope you are still with us?? !!
I am still here! I have not been doing so great Body-for-Life wise though. :( I really am having a hard time getting back on track and I'm so sad about it. I know I can do it and I know I will feel SO much better physically... I just haven't been able to resist the temptations of "bad" food the last few weeks.
I have been at my new job for two weeks (and last weekend I was out of town for my first half marathon of 2013!) and have actually GAINED weight. :( This is not good at all! I know it is because they are feeding us very well at work lol. I just need to bring my own BFL meals I suppose - it is hard not to eat what they give us since it is cooked each day and is FREE. But I know it's not BFL approved so I should just bring my own meals like I used to at my last job.
I am so glad to see that so many of you are still kicking butt at this challenge! Way to go! I'm so glad you've gotten through the first five weeks! :) I can't wait to see/hear about everyone's results at the end. I think I need to go read a few more inspiring posts to help get me back on track.
As far as the amount of protein for a woman each day, I usually aimed for 20-30 g of protein for each meal (less for snacks). I think there are protein calculators you can find online using your body weight. Hope that helps a bit! :)
Hi Everyone,
Well I have completed my week 5 of the challenge but it has been a difficult week as I had my stag do on Friday night. I use that day as a rest day and managed to stick to the BFL foods but obviously during the evening I was force to drink copious amounts of alcohol................hic hic. Woke up on Saturday feeling rough and as I was working later that day did not get to the gym. I felt so guilty that today, after work I did my Upper Body and straight afterwards 20 minutes on the jogging machine. I am not going to beat myself up just because I had a few drinks. Week 6 is going to be a bit difficult as well because I am getting married on the 14th, hopefully I can fit everything in. I hope everyone is doing well and I am definitely seeing changes. All the best
Week 5 in the books, on to week 6. Down 20 pounds so far, feeling better, have more energy and happier. Took full advantage of last weeks free day and enjoyed every bite of a 20 oz. bone-in ribeye. Hadn't had a chunk of cow meat in quite a while. Eating has been on track however I did miss a workout last week. Eating is not a problem at all, I actually look forward to my meals but it so hard to get motivated about strength training, especially lower body. I use a bowflex sport with 310 rods but I don't feel I'm getting a decent lower body workout. I will order 2 more 50 lb. rods this week and max the thing out at 410. Hopefully this will help.
I have lost weight, clothes are looser but the irony is I feel fatter than ever! Cant wait to this this weight off. Keep up the hard work everybody, almost halfway there!
Great UBWO. I have been really sticking to the 1 minute rest in between. And 3 min rest between exercises.
good day everyone
Just got back from the gym and had a great 20 minute jog. Hit. My Hiit point and feeling really good about myself. I hope the rest of you are doing well. Coming to the end of the 6th week. Everyone were nearly halfway there now!. Keep it up, and I bet this is the time we start seeing those big changes in our bodies..
Run is done!!
LBWO was tough but I pushed through and ran a mile after

Oh, good, it's time for that annual ritual in which the Dodgers attempt to appease those unfortunate ticketholders who spend one inning trying to park and two innings trying to buy a hot dog.
OK, so they're attempting to appease everyone, which is why it's called Fan Appreciation Day, occurring Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium during a game against the horrid Colorado Rockies, which should be appreciation enough.
My favorite prize is four tickets to a regular-season Kings home game. The lucky winner will be considerably luckier if there actually is a hockey regular season.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
My second-favorite prize is a lunch for two with Hall of Famer Tom Lasorda, which could be conveniently paired with three other prizes — a one-year supply of Coca-Cola products, a one-year supply of Wetzel's Pretzels, and a one-year supply of Frosted Flakes cereal.
Seriously, at this point, 24 years after their last world championship, the only prize that would make Dodgers fans feel appreciated would be another championship.
Well, that, and one of the new owners realizing that this sport is baseball and not basketball and TURNING DOWN THE STADIUM VOLUME.
The actual prize: The Dodgers grounds crew visits your house and works on your lawn.
A better prize: A revamped Dodgers infield for next season featuring Hanley Ramirez at third base and Luis Cruz in some sort of platoon at shortstop.
Ramirez has to be convinced to move to third base because he doesn't field well enough to play shortstop every day, especially in a pitching park such as Dodger Stadium.
Cruz may be a fan favorite and the season's best story, but remember, he's batting above .300 in only 74 games, which may be just about right.
"When we acquired Hanley, we wanted to be see if he was open to whatever Donnie [Mattingly] wanted him to do, and he was, so we'll see what happens," said General Manager Ned Colletti on Saturday.
The actual prize: A Las Vegas Experience that includes three nights at a casino resort.
A better prize: An ace.
I know, the Dodgers already have Clayton Kershaw, but they need another top-shelf starting pitcher to compensate for the possible long loss of Chad Billingsley and their bevy of middle guys, including Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang and Josh Beckett.
It sounds crazy to think the Dodgers could add a high-priced free agent such as Zack Greinke or make another deal for a big-money arm, but after what happened this summer, could they do anything that would surprise us?
"I think we have to look for another starting pitcher," admitted Colletti, later adding, "I think it's clear our owners have shown they are really excited about this thing and the possibility of bringing this town a championship."
The actual prize: Hello Kitty gift basket.
A better prize: Hello Carl Crawford.
If you listen to all the whining from Boston Red Sox fans — do they do anything else? — you would think Crawford is more foul than that infamous Popeye's chicken. Yet throw out his Fenway follies and you have a guy with National League skills finally going to the National League. His recovery from elbow surgery, and subsequent positioning in left field and at the top of the order, will change this team in ways that folks with short memories cannot imagine.
"This is a breath of fresh air for Carl,'' said Colletti. "When I talked to him after the trade, he was as happy as any player I've spoken to during that kind of call … you could sense his relief."

Rachel M. McKenzie, representing Councilman Michael Carrigan, argued before the Nevada Supreme Court that a provision in the law intended to define conflicts of interest does not give elected officials enough guidance on when their outside relationships make it improper for them to vote.
But Jeremy Marwell, representing the state Ethics Commission, countered that the law's language is clear and should be upheld.
At the crux of the case is whether a catch-all phrase in Nevada law extending defined voting prohibitions — such as in matters involving family members, business partners or employers — to any other "substantially similar" relationship is vague and unconstitutional.
The justices took the arguments under submission Monday and will rule at a later date.
Carrigan was censured by the Ethics Commission for voting on the Lazy 8 casino project in 2005. His friend and campaign manager, Carlos Vasquez, also worked as a consultant for the Red Hawk Land Co., which was backing the casino.
Carrigan disclosed his relationship with Vasquez on the record but voted on the advice of the city attorney, saying he didn't stand to "reap either financial or personal gain or loss" by his action.
The ethics panel said he should have abstained from voting, and noted that most of Carrigan's campaign spending went through Vazquez's company.
Carrigan challenged the censure to the Nevada Supreme Court, which earlier said the law the Ethics Commission relied on was overly broad and "lacks necessary limitation to its regulations of protected speech."
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed that finding last year on the narrow issue of free speech, and sent the case back to the Nevada court to consider any other legal challenges.
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the nation's high court, said an elected official's vote "is not his own speech but a mechanical function of government — the commitment of his apportioned share of the legislature's power to the passage or defeat of a particular proposal."
Nevada and 14 other states argued that ethics laws around the nation would be threatened if the high court were to endorse the Nevada court ruling.
The Associated Press joined 15 other news organizations and press freedom groups in a brief supporting the Nevada ethics commission.

ACI`s World Elastomer Summit 2013 will provide in depth analysis of today fundamental shift of global C4 olefins and elastomers markets. Globally, trade patterns for butadiene and related products will continue to shift as production of end-use products relocate to developing countries, mainly to China.
The emergence of China and the rest of the developing world as significant players in the automotive markets is causing much of the rapid demand growth for Butadiene and its derivatives.
Butadiene & derivatives are growing faster than feedstock supply so alternative production sources are emerging as on purpose butadiene production will start to become a major market driver later in this decade.
Finally, the event will address the latest technological advancements of S-SBR, PBR EVA production and investigate the impact of tyre labelling on the synthetic rubber market as a result of a more performance conscious market.
